rsyslog 8.2512.0: network namespaces, omhttp enhancements and much more

Rainer GerhardsRelease Announcement

We have released rsyslog 8.2512.0, the December scheduled-stable version. Scheduled-stable releases are bi-monthly snapshots of the daily-stable branch, providing predictable update points with the same functional content as daily-stable at the time of the snapshot.

This release contains three major highlights:

  1. Completion of the foundational Network Namespace implementation, developed by Billie Alsup.
  2. A major omhttp refactoring and feature upgrade, contributed by Adrien GANDARIAS, with substantial integration work on the PR.
  3. The newest contribution: significant mmsnareparse enhancements by André Lorbach (Adiscon), expanding and refining modern SNARE and Windows event parsing capabilities.

Documentation improvements continue across the tree. As always, rsyslog.com/doc documents the current codebase.
